Hi Ron - here are the tests of the adjusted white salt recipe that you sent
me.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/18590247@N03/

All done on Bmix cone 10 as I have runout of HHP tiles. Showing front and
back - back stained with red FeO to show crazing. Couldn't see crazng on th=
e
adjusted, but the glaze looks totally different and ran.

Left tile adjusted recipe with spod; middle tile original white salt -
thinish; right tile original white salt - thick.
The original recipe was Neph Sye 71.6
Ball Clay 4.8
Dolomite 23.6
Add Zirco 18.8, rutile 1 and bento 4
Your adjusted was:

Hi Eve,

When you add a new oxide (flux in this case Lithium) you usually get
more melt - I should have sent a line blend to take that into account
- Here are two more about the same calculated expansion but are more
refractory - mix up each and test then mix together to get the middle
one (revision #3) - this should do it - don't forget the zircopax and
rutile.

If any happen to craze I still have lots of room to adjust for that.

Revision #2
NEPH SY..................... 20.00
DOLOMITE.................... 25.00
OM-4........................ 8.00
Tanko Spod.................. 47.00
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
100.00

Revision #4
NEPH SY..................... 20.00
DOLOMITE.................... 25.00
OM-4........................ 14.00
Tanko Spod.................. 41.00
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
100.00
